All of that makes a lot of sense, but I don't really know if I buy the whole she didn't know his music thing. I think I believe that about as much as I believe that Yoko didn't know who the Beatles were. But if she and the cave people don't know Beatles music then they don't and I apologize to them.
I would have a tough time believing that as well, but I met a person a few months back that likes Country music and said she only knew one Beatles song. Hard to believe, but they are either well known or hardly at all, not icons or their songs being at least somewhat known. Unfortunate, but it's becoming black and white rather than gray.
"well Paul, you seem a little upset. Is she still on your mind?" "yea, her 200 million that she took from me. i don't care what she does now, but that money was going to be used to bring Linda back." "Linda? but shes been dead for a while Paul?" "But her severed head is right next Ted Williams, so maybe I'll get a new wife that can knock it out of the park on a regular basis."
i know, that was terrible, but i know he'd probably chuckle a little at that.
What the f*** is wrong with you? Somebody get this twat out of here. Stupid c*nt.

Hold on a second. You say there's no need to get all abusive and then call me a stupid fucking tosser? Actually, that has a nice ring to it you 18 year old feltch-suck. I'll never understand why this site attracts so much teenage Euroshit. A tosser. Nice. Let me guess, you are going to say something brilliant like 'f*** off' like you did a few topics back to some other members. I think you, SomeDude, and Lennonlegend should get together, get bombed off of two lagers and consumate the love baby. You are all the same sort of poofed pimpled losers.

Now, in my very best dead-pan... You don't understand irony.

I guess it's possible, but I also think that a lot of people may know Beatles songs without realizing it's the Beatles. It's like when I first play a Beatles CD to my students. A lot of them go, that's the Beatles? I know that song! They are so ingrained in our culture I just find it so hard to believe a person can not know of them or only be aware of one song. But then I'm so aware of them that I hear the even tiniest of references so it feels like they are everywhere. I guess it's more possible these days not to know them, but back when Yoko claimed ignorant? Nah!
Yoko knew of The Beatles just not the music. What on Earth would she gain from lying about that?
Anyways, deep in this darkest of nights I send out a prayer to Paul, I really do hope he's ok because I love him dearly. I'm sure we all care for him dearly and I'm sure he knows that. Bounce back Macca!

Because then she wouldn't appear as just some groupie or starstruck fan. It's not like women never use a ploy to get a man. And even Paul questions her on this. She knew them and she knew their music. Which is why she wanted to use some lyrics for something or other and went to Paul first and so on. You know the story.
Just my opinion: When two people are passionate about anything causes, distress, tragedy, etc., there is a connection which often times gets mistaken for love/ soulmates, etc. To Wit: When Christie Brinkley and that Real Estate magnate from Telluride got into that helicopter crash, they were instantly bonded by an absolutely unique circumstance, felt close because only they could understand what they went through, and decided it was love. She left Billy Joel, and her marriage to this guy lasted 8 months because the only thing they really had in common was this helicopter crash. Paul will never get over Linda. Ever. He found in Heather someone that shared the same passion for the rights of animals, the land-mine cause, etc., and in the mean time, probably had some laughs, made love, felt close and on and on. They didn't have much time for passion. They were always on planes, going here, going there, interviewing, etc. They never had time to get to know each other and sooner or later, that bond you started out with is going to wear thinner and thinner- there just aren't enough hours in the day. They had two choices-sit in a room or go out where the papparazzi is going to follow your every move. This marriage didn't stand a chance. It's just another example of how you can't do anything out of passion, because passion will f*** you up, but we mere mortals will never experience the esoteric and unique position they were/are in. I feel bad for both of them. They both, no doubt, care and love one another, I don't know if they were ever in love, but I'm sure they loved each other. She grew alot in the past 5 years or however long they've known each other, but they just had no hope. Whatever she ends up with, she will be fine, and so will Paul, he's not about to go broke. I don't think she's a loser or a a gold-digger, she just ended up with a guy. A famous guy. And she didn't even know his music. Paul will carry a torch for the rest of his life, and let's just hope he doesn't end up getting married 50 times trying to find Linda.
To a friend of mine. He thinks it was well-written and sort of profound.
I can't help but understand a lot of these sentiments. Paul McCartney was a man who could have probably gotten any woman he desired, but he was able to stick with one, without any significant marital problems. The rest of the Beatles had been divorced once with somebody, but he carried a torch for a long time as the one Beatles who was able to have an excellent marriage with someone he carried deeply about, and only one marriage (until now, of course). I'm no expert on love and marriage by any stretch, but it would make sense that, after an experience such as that, one would long for another woman such as Linda.
^ The guy must be running out of people to abuse. I found his rant at Mairi particuly disturbing. A thirty something guy hurling abuse at a 15 yearold like some pyscho jilted lover gave me the creeps. And we worry about Wayne or Dirk. Personally I'm getting sick of it. Disagree with people by all means, but don't abuse them for having different views. And if some teenager throws some swearwords at you, be the bigger man and treat it with the disdain it deserves. Check out how The End dealt with Masterfasters little tantrum the other day. It ain't so hard.
